U Missouri Research Center To Implement Integrated Research Database

UM has tapped Prometheus Research, located in New Haven, CT, to develop an integrated data management system for the Thompson Center. The new system will build on technology "already in place from their mutual involvement in the Simons Simplex Collection (SSC)," according to a statement released today by Prometheus. The system will support new research outside of what's stored with the SSC.

The Thompson Center aims to overcome the challenges of autism and other developmental conditions through research, training, and new models of care. University researchers are working on more than 30 research projects geared at finding solutions that address the unique needs of people with ASD. The Thompson Center partners with the Autism Treatment Network, the Simons Simplex Collection, and the Interactive Autism Network (IAN).
